ABOUT Doi Bhetki Curry RECIPE

Doi Bhetki is a mildly spiced flavorful Bengali fish curry, where fish steaks cooked in a yogurt based gravy. I love this fish for its own unique taste and less bones. Try this version of Bhetki; you’ll love the taste and flavor of this simple, yet delicious fish curry!
